Hi Rune,
I've brought this to the notice of the Ubuntu guys (via Launchpad etc).
From what I can understand the way they've got it setup is as a
"recommended" rather than "required" download.

Okay, thanks.
As curl is commonly used with git, and ubuntu-users (yours truly
included) are not used to packages not working out of the box, it would
be nice with a more pedagogical error message if you try to use git with
curl and curl is not installed.

I agree, at the moment I'm on ubuntu (considering a move to something
else) and for the moment, I'm actually running from the bleeding edge
(git pull every week or so).
